"I'd heard about the move but didn't speak about it too much because I'd been told I wasn't leaving Liverpool."He [Alonso] told me how highly he rates me as a player. Liverpool told me I couldn't leave at the time, which was fair enough, but if you want to go and play, then you've got to push it."I asked the manager.



And he believes Slot perhaps didn't think he was quite up to the standard."I think he [Slot] thought I was a good player, but I don't feel the trust was there as much," he continued. "In my opinion, the limited opportunities were down to trust and not ability."When I got my opportunity in the cup, I felt like I played well.

A lot of footballers can be bitter about not playing and let their egos get in the way, but I'm not that type of lad."I personally disagreed with the limited amount of game time I got last season, but that was out of my control. I did everything I could.
